...
The three of them got dressed and returned to the activity room.
"How's your injury?" Himejima Akeno asked, noticing that Badr still looked a bit weak.
"There's still a slight wound that hasn't healed, but it's nothing serious," Badr smiled, indicating he was fine.
He turned to Rias and said, "After this ambush, those fallen angels will surely be more vigilant."
It would be much harder to find them next time. Those bastards were definitely plotting something big, but with the enemy lurking in the shadows, they had no leads. It was frustrating to be so passive.
"There's not much we can do about it. We can only send out people to search thoroughly," Rias didn't have any better ideas either.
She thought about the holy sword of the Church and felt another headache coming on.
Perhaps they'd have to contact the Church again. It was truly annoying.
Mainly, Rias couldn't gauge the attitude of the Church. She wasn't sure if they were cooperating with the fallen angels or if the holy sword had simply been stolen...
However, it was probably the latter.
The Church was backed by angels, and those beings wouldn't stoop so low as to participate in such inhumane experiments. If they did, wouldn't they all "fall" then?
The so-called "fall" refers to the process of an angel falling and becoming a fallen angel. At that time, the angel's white wings would turn black, and this process is described as "falling."
"For now, we can only do this... Let's consider this matter settled for the time being," Badr stretched lazily.
At the moment, they couldn't find the enemy, so there was no use worrying. Rather than fretting over these things, it was more practical to focus on improving themselves.
As for notifying her brother, the Satan Lucifer, Rias hadn't considered it yet.
She didn't want to bother her brother with such a small matter; there was no need for now.
"Alright, let's not think too much about it. It's getting late, we should go have dinner," Rias suggested, and everyone teleported to her home.
In fact, this was Badr's first time visiting Rias home.
Usually, it was Rias who would sneak into his room in the middle of the night...
Arriving directly at Rias home through the teleportation circle, Badr's jaw dropped at the sight of the spacious hall before him.
"Are you sure this isn't some cultural heritage site?" Badr spoke softly, because the place he was in was clearly an ancient castle...
"This property has belonged to our family for hundreds of years. Is there a problem?" Rias said with a smile. Of course, the castle had undergone many renovations over time. It had all the modern amenities one could want, but it also retained many historical Gears and decorations.
Compared to Rias, Badr's small savings probably couldn't even buy a single table here...
Badr grinned and shook his head, indicating there was no problem, and said directly:
"Rich lady, I'm hungry."
"..."
Rias couldn't help but laugh. She clapped her hands, and immediately a maid came forward. After Rias gave her instructions, exquisite food was quickly served.
"Let's all eat together. Today's battle was tiring for everyone."
The food prepared by the maid was excellent, and everyone enjoyed the meal thoroughly.
At this time, Koneko Toujou, sitting next to Badr, suddenly picked up a meat skewer and held it in front of him. "This is for you."
Badr was slightly surprised: "You don't like it?"
Usually, Koneko was always munching on snacks. Maybe it was because of her rare Nekoshou heritage, but she always seemed very gluttonous. It was rare to see her being picky about food...
But Koneko shook her head lightly: "This is a thank you. Thank you for taking that hit for me today."
Koneko's golden eyes were full of sincerity. This beautiful girl was so petite and cute, although most of the time she was expressionless...
Rias couldn't help but chuckle: "How rare. Koneko is willing to share her favorite food."
"This is gratitude. It's necessary," Koneko said seriously.
Badr smiled, "Alright, then I won't be polite."
Seeing Badr finish the meat skewer in a few bites, a slight smile appeared on Koneko's face.
As they slowly savored the delicious food, everyone chatted while eating. The convivial dinner lasted nearly an hour, and after eating their fill, everyone sat there contentedly.
"Now that we've finished eating, let's all go take a relaxing bath. We have a hot spring at home," Rias suggested.
A hot spring at home...
This was indeed the life of the rich.
"Badr, are you coming?" Rias called out to Badr when she saw he hadn't moved.
"Hm? Aren't you ladies going to bathe first?"
"Hehe, there are separate areas. You can go to the one next door, right?" Rias smiled slightly, "Or do you want to bathe with us?"
"Eh?" Badr responded casually, "Is that allowed?"
...
In response to Badr's question, Rias very decisively agreed.
"I don't mind at all."
Between her and Badr, they had done pretty much everything except for the final step, so naturally, she wouldn't spoil the mood at a time like this.
As she spoke, she smiled and looked towards Akeno:
"What about you, Akeno?"
Akeno responded with a gentle smile: "I'd quite like to help wash someone's back."
For big sister Akeno, it seemed that sense of shame in front of Badr wasn't really a concern...
Rias then looked at the blonde little nun: "Asia definitely won't have a problem, right?"
She had been sleeping with them for many nights, always getting jealous whenever she saw Rias and Badr being intimate. She was really quite cute.
After being teased like this, Asia's face turned bright red.
"So, what about Koneko?"
"I refuse," Koneko closed her eyes and rejected without hesitation.
"Well, then there's nothing we can do," Rias smiled and shrugged.
Badr maintained a calm expression and nodded: "What a pity."
Although he said this, he didn't look disappointed at all...
After all, he had anticipated this outcome from the beginning. Rias was obviously just teasing him.
Akeno definitely knew that Rias was playing with Badr, so she went along with it, because they all knew that Koneko would definitely refuse. As soon as Koneko refused, Rias would definitely use that to end the topic.
Unfortunately, Badr had seen through this point early on, so he remained very calm...
Rias didn't see any disappointed expression on Badr's face, which left her feeling a bit regretful. This guy always seemed so composed, she had never seen him flustered...
...
Hot Spring Pool.
The location seemed to be at the back of the castle, near the mountainside where there was a natural spring eye. This hot spring pool was continuously supplied with hot water from that spring eye to maintain its temperature.
The hot spring pool was divided into four areas by a cross-shaped partition, but even so, each area was still unbelievably large, easily the size of a swimming pool.
Badr occupied one area alone, while the four girls were next to him, separated by a partition.
Quietly soaking in the hot spring, Badr relaxed both body and mind.
Because it was particularly quiet on his side, with his extraordinary hearing, he could hear the conversation of the beautiful girls next door.
"Hehe, hot springs are really the best..." Akeno said in a very contented tone.
"Yes, if everyone gets tired from training in the future, you can come here. At least it can help a little in relieving fatigue," Rias said with a smile.
On this side of the partition, Rias and Akeno were already soaking in the pool, while Asia and Koneko were still rinsing themselves off.
When her gaze swept over the figures of the two mature women, Asia, also being female, couldn't help but show a hint of envy in her expression, followed by a bit of dejection.
Obviously, she also very much envied Rias and Akeno's impressive curves.
"That's wishful thinking."
Koneko suddenly spoke up. Although she wasn't looking at Asia, it was as if she knew what she was thinking.
In fact, Badr always felt that Koneko seemed to have the ability to read minds;
She seemed to be able to sense and understand other people's thoughts...
Although Badr had no evidence.
Badr soaked for a while, feeling much better, except for the slight effect of his wound.
He decided to sit cross-legged in the pool, trying to use magic power to stimulate the healing of this kind of injury.
Having been injured so many times, he either had Asia use Twilight Healing to help heal him, or Rias would transfer magic power to heal him. He couldn't do anything about the former as it was the power of a sacred gear, but he had more or less learned the latter.
Trying for the first time to heal himself by stimulating with magic power, Badr found the effect quite good, just a bit tiring...
This was natural, of course;
After all, when Rias helped heal, she was the one controlling the magic power. Badr didn't have to do anything, just focus on enjoying the wonderful sensation of Rias warm body.
Doing it yourself versus having someone else do it, how could it be the same...
Badr gradually became focused on it, and in his excitement, unknowingly activated the resonance of the sacred gear.
He felt the magic power boiling, stimulating the wound to heal faster, which made Badr happy.
It seemed he had stumbled upon a pretty good technique?
Although it wasn't as pleasing as Twilight Healing, when Asia was too busy, this little technique could be a subtle healing method. He should have systematically learned these similar methods earlier.
On this side of the wall, Rias and the others soaking in the water suddenly noticed something was off.
"Huh? Rias, do you feel like the water temperature is getting hotter?" Akeno asked curiously.
"It is."
Everyone noticed that the hot spring was getting increasingly hot, forcing them to leave the spring.
"What's going on? Could it be a problem on Badr's side?" Asia asked somewhat strangely.
Rias then called out to the other side: "Badr? What are you doing?"
The other side was very quiet, with no response.
"...Strange, let me take a look."
Rias then directly opened the partition. Badr didn't know this thing could be moved...
Everyone immediately saw Badr sitting in the pool with his back to them. Magic power was surging around his body, completely unaware what's happening!
"He's still cultivating at a time like this..." Akeno chuckled lightly: "Badr is really hardworking..."
Rias suddenly exclaimed with joy: "It seems like he's made some progress?"
